क्या मकान खरीदने पर सब्सीडी प्राप्त करने के लिए क्या महिला का नाम रजिस्ट्री मे होना आवश्यक है! महिला नही होने पर पुरुष को 15 लाख का लोन10 वर्ष के लिए लेने पर सब्सीडी की पात्रता आती हैं या नहीं !
Raviraj Parekh
Dear Natwar,
It is mandatory to keep women name in registry. AS per guidelines of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna PMAY any house that is acquired by the assistatance of Central Governtment Grant/Subsidy the ownership should be in the name of Female Head of the house hold or in the joint name of Female head of the house hold. Only if there is no adult female in the household the house so aquired can be in the name of the male.

The scheme classifies applicants into economically weaker sections (EWS) and lower income groups (LIG), with an income of up to Rs 6 lakh an annum for a household, and middle income group (Rs 6 lakh-Rs 18 lakh annual income).If you are in this category you can apply for PMAY via ICICI Bank.

Poonam Shah
Hi,
My name is Poonam Shah.
My query w.r.t. this scheme is as under:
Facts:
1. Currently, Me or My husband, none of us own any house in India.
2. My personal income is 0;
3. My husbands income is 18 Plus Lacs.
Query:
Since My husbands income is mored than 18 Lacs, I understand he can not avail this subsidy despite of the fact that he doesnt own a house in India.
Is it possible for me to buy a house in my name and loan payment can be done by him.
Raviraj Parekh
Hello Poonam,
As your family does not meet condition for PMAY you can not apply for loan under this scheme. You can apply for normal loan and purchase the house.
